Day: 26 February 2025

  • After most of four days spent primarily in bed with what's probably a norovirus infection (or something like it), this afternoon I got up and went outside. ๐ŸŽ‰

    It felt like a huge achievement, even if I ran back in to the warmth the very second that the dog I was supervising had finished her business.

  • Using WordPress internally at Automattic as a productivity tool is great... until you have to call in sick three days in a row and Jetpack treats your "streak" as an "achievement"! ๐Ÿ˜…

    Full image of Two 'Jetpack' notifications on an Android phone, both at 08:07. The first reads: 'Dan Q posted on Marketplace Engineering: AFK for itsdang -26Feb25'. The second reads: 'New achievement: You're on a 3-day streak on Marketplace Engineering!'
